Background and Analysis:
Each year the Community Planning and Development Department notifies the public of the opportunity to propose amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. For consideration in 2017, four applications were submitted - two from City Departments and two from the public. Earlier in 2017 the City Council moved all four of the proposals to the final docket for the year, thereby allowing for further review and analysis.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
For comprehensive plan amendments, with or without rezone requests, our notification process is to publish a notice (legal advertisement) in the paper and the mail notice to Recognized Neighborhood Associations. For this request, given that three sides of it abut adjacent jurisdictions that are not necessarily included in city recognized neighborhoods, the City asked the applicant to post the site. Two Notice of Application signs were posted on site, on along the street frontage of Yelm Highway and the other along Henderson Boulevard.
Several public comments have been submitted from adjacent and nearby residents and from two Home Owners Associations. Comments include concerns about compatibility, traffic, privacy, lighting, safety, stormwater, setbacks, buffers, school capacity and infrastructure, pocket gophers, noise, property value, and increased crime. Comments received are attached for your review and consideration.
Options:
1. Approve the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone.
2. Approve the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone as modified by the Planning Commission.
3. Recommend the City Council deny the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone.
Financial Impact:
None.
